This Victorian Peloton glass vase is made from two layers of cased glass - clear over mauve - pink, shading to white. It has a ribbed pattern & applied Peloton threads in pink, blue, yellow, & white. Measuring 12 cm tall, 11 cm across the fan shaped crimped top rim, & 7.5 cm across the base, it has a rough snapped pontil mark underneath.
This is the first in a selection of Peloton items in this distictive mauve - pink shade - they must be all by the same maker, as they have numerous aspects in common. My gut feeling is that these pink items may be of English origin - I think all of them have been purchased from the UK bar one or two examples. Another, to come, was found in Australia.

IronLace, 2 years agoHi czechglass5, yes, this type of rim is most distinctive, & does seem to be a rather British style. Glad you're enjoying the images & there will be many more examples of Peloton glass to come, including numerous other pieces in this unusual mauve - pink colour.

IronLace, 2 years agoMany thanks nutsabotas6, Manikin, & sklo42 - yes, that top is something else! In the near future I will post some images of Victorian glass in the V&A Museum's Glasss Gallery, including a vase with this style of fan top.
